>>212311718
Are you actually retarded? That image isn't rule 34 of Berserk. Except if it's part of some porn comic in which case you just exposed yourself as a gooner jeet.

Too violent and too rapey to be adapted. Thankfully Studio Gaga is super-protective over the IP so Hollywood will hopefully never get a chance to try.

The problem is, Beserk post-eclipse is worthless shonen crap

>>212312106
It's unfortunate because you're not wrong

>>212312032
Your infinite anger has clouded smooth brain

>>212311384 (OP)
Budget. The issue is budget. It would be very expensive and there's no guarantee it would make its money back. A great number of high budget effect heavy movies have flopped, some of them based on more well known properties than Berserk (Warcraft, Detective Pikachu). And doing man against huge monster fights is a nightmare for the VFX people that almost always ends up looking dogshit.

>my love for you is like a truck
>berserker.... berseeerrrkeeerrr

>>212312075
It's really not that hard to adapt without all the rape, the 97 anime did it just fine, and it's pretty commonly accepted it's unnecessary past that point anyway

1997 was already a good enough adaptation, I'd rather we just not try again since every other time they miss the mark.

>>212312206
>Your infinite anger has clouded smooth brain
Yup, that's an ESLjeet.

>>212312373
There's been one shitposting all day.

>>212311605
So you need a low budget project with a proper director instead of a studio puppet. Not doable

>>212312229
If Elden Ring works out, chances are Berserk will get an adaptation too. Whether that be a movie series going for a full adaptation or a condensed version, akin to Boorman's failed approach to adapting Lord of the Rings, I cannot say.

>>212312373
Projection and continued imaginary issues
I hope you get well soon

You niggas saw what happened with game of thrones and still think that anyone will adapt a story without an ending again

Beserk would rock if the Japanese weren't total dogshit at CGI animation.

>>212311570
How's this for a pitch?

Two movie adaptation.

Highly condensed.

First one ends the way the 97 anime did.

Second one ends adapting Miura's final chapter.

>>212312628
you can't condense golden age into a single movie, or the rest of the story into one movie either, stop being stupid

>>212312628
I'm still coping with the fact that this is basically the last page and ending of Berserk.

>>212312678
You can if you hit the key scenes right. Movie would be around half what The Golden Age Arc movies had for runtime. It's not too bad.

The rest of the story doesn't have much happening. Apostle hunting compilation. Search for Casca. New group. Berserker armor. Fairy land.

>>212312701
>like morning dew

>>212311384 (OP)
I could do it in 3 movies.
I fantasize about it at work.

>>212312842
The egg of the perfect world and the merging of the astral realms are both climaxes of their respective arcs for a reason, trying to force both into one movie would just be overkill

>>212311384 (OP)
Nothing live action will ever do as much justice as the 90s anime.

This time it will be different!

>>212313008
I understand what you say but I don't think people connect to them in that way. They are far removed from the characters and perceived as mere plot points.

>>212311384 (OP)
yes, it is.
too dark, too violent, too brutal, too manly

I don't know how well audiences would receive Guts stabbing a child with his giant sword and then the kid crying and grasping for air before dying

>>212312701
I haven’t read it but I heard that once the new writer took over he immediately got rid of chestnut Puck and the story actually picked up pace.

>>212313137
The lore is honestly just as important to the world of Berserk as its characters so I'd advocate for giving both the respect and weight they deserve

>>212313103
>adapting RPGs with multiple choices and multiple endings
I don't know why people ask for that

>>212313103

>>212312599
yeah should've outsourced to mumbai, saar!

>>212313148
There hasn't been a chapter in like a year, maybe longer, so it definitely hasn't picked up the pace and it's just Berserk as usual. Things did happen at least for the first time in like 10 years.

>>212313200
No, you would need someone that can write human characters.

>>212313213
we got a new chapter last week

>>212312229
Berserk has a lot of horses, which are notoriously difficult to draw in traditional animation, and also still difficult in CG.

>>212313200
Maybe. If he worked together with Terrio on it, I think he'd pull it off.

If they both appear in the 2nd movie it would be relatively early and relatively late, so you could still have narrative mirroring there, putting sufficient emphasis on both events.

>>212311384 (OP)
Bro imagine trying to adapt a story that's over 30 years old. In length of written time it's taken make and try to end it in three seasons what?

I was so sick and tired of people saying that berserk ends with fucking the eclipse because they're too fucking smooth brain to actually read past that implying that the conviction Arc is not good. Implying that the one the war between Griffith's 's monsters and Men versus that packy pajeet almost god wasnt kino.
Fuck off.

>>212313450
last page drawn by miura

>>212313561
nobody cares
the series peaked with the eclipse
nothing that happened after has been as good

>>212313561
what happens here is that a lot of people are anime only and the berserk 97 is so good they have never been able to vibe with the rest of the story
Doesn't help how bad the last anime was
The entire story is pure kino

>>212313622
It peaked at the eclipse, simple as.

When should I stop reading? I have the sixth deluxe volume. I'm thinking of stopping there.

>>212315633
You peaked as a child in terms of life enjoyment

>>212317089
Read it all the way unless you're a dirty poor. The only thing that stopped me from finishing berserk this way was that I bought the first 4 deluxe editions and had to wait for them to be released over the course of a few years. I was never stuck on the boat for like a decade but I struggled too

>>212312701
Its pretty Kino that the guy who took over is the art school friend and business partner who inspired Griffith and the feelings of resentment in Miura that fueled Guts. Muira hated that everything was so easy for the guy, including artistic success and luck with woman.

>>212315633
that is the peak but conviction arc is fucking fantastic, lost children is great, millenium empire is also cool. there is plenty of good there post-eclipse

>>212312878

no wonder guts is such a cuck loser and cucks love the series so much lmao

>>212312075
Rape doesn’t happen THAT much in the story and besides there are a lot more fucked up hollywood movies than your shitty Berserk

>>212311384 (OP)
I have only watched the 97 anime, is there any more story after that?

>>212318962
That is just the intro. It is also the best part.

>>212313378
We got two last month.
The Kushan leaders found out roughly what Guts is, then proceeded to shit enough bricks to build a castle as he was escorted into a burial tomb.

>>212318962
Jesus christ yes.
You've watched about the first quarter of the series.
Guts makes some friends that include a Loli Witch.

>>212317089
>When should I stop reading?
You don't.
You keep reading to see Miura's vision.

I can understand someone who says that Golden Age is their favorite arc.
I can even understand someone who says that Golden Age is the best arc, though I disagree.
But someone who says that you should stop after Golden Age is a midwit with their head up their ass, and should never be trusted.

>>212312701
Why couldn't I stop reading here? I prefer this as an okay ending.
Nu-serk is DBZ-tier with barely any dialogue, characters just teleporting around the place, and Guts moping like a bitch (he's had zero spoken lines, btw).

>>212311384 (OP)

I'd say this too if I couldn't read.

>>212311384 (OP)
>Couldn't a 3 seasons show work

Why? So we can watch yet another poor adaptation of the Golden Age storyline? Only to be cucked by Casca's violation to protect US Feminist sensibilities?

Or move on to Puck and Schierke, and the Elf Island where everyone is a DEI-faggot and no one will watch it?

>>212311384 (OP)
golden age would be somewhat easy to film but the eclipse and everything after would most likely become such a CGI fest that it would become increasingly unlikely they'd be able to adapt it in a way that doesn't look like shit.

>>212321650
Women don't care about Casca's rape because Griffith is 100 times prettier than Chalamet.

The Golden Age is essentially what peak GoT was....(Like "Battle of the Bastards")...

It's simple. Copy the 90s anime as close as you can. Then accelerate the pace in the following arcs.

>>212323276
>have you seen Game of Thrones?
game of thrones is a prime example that a world and story as big as berserk's could absolutely be adapted and, if done right, would be pretty damn stellar. big biiiig fucking /if/ on being done right of course
miura's almost photo realistic style of illustration makes an animation adaptation incredibly difficult but a live action one actually very possible, and in fact preferable if you ask me. every panel could be adapted to the big screen. https://youtu.be/GNdtodQLKRo
the story itself is incredibly concise and there's pretty much no filler so chapters could fit neatly into episodes and arcs into seasons.

berserk literally just be like "that golden age though"

What Griffith did wasn't rape and he had every right to. He tossed her the sword and imparted the power to stop her from being raped when he met her. He just took that back and returned her to the victim she was meant to be bereft of being his puppet.

>>212323721
I'm all aboard for the Mori continuation, but one thing that I'm sure was lost forever with Miura was moments like this.

>>212313103
Yeah, I'll never understand why people who like things always demand a retarded, bad version of it.

>>212324203
That's not what happened....

The raping of Casca was Griffith making up for lost time after going 0 to 60mph once he was infused with the power of the Godhand and became Femto.

Before that, he was so tuned into 'his dream of having his own kingdom', he constantly cucked Casca from ever getting closed to him, even when she's literally throwing herself at him. That was before Guts joined the Band, and she slowly became infatuated with him instead.

Then Guts left the Band, and Griffiths started to spiral out before getting captured and tortured. Then once they rescued Griffith, all battered and broken, and watching from afar how Guts and Casca got close.. he wanted to fuck her in his damaged state to claim what he could from her. But he was too fucked up to do anything, but dry-hump on her to get it out of her system.

Then when Griffiths became Femto, all those emotions and power revved up so high, she fucked her stupid during the eclipse...and knocking her up in the process too....
>Which people suspect that the "Moonchild" is the 'good version' of Griffiths being reborn;...as fan theories go.

>>212311384 (OP)
Berserk is all about the mangaka's unique art style, not even anime makes sense.

>>212324638
>Then when Griffiths became Femto, all those emotions and power revved up so high, she fucked her stupid during the eclipse...and knocking her up in the process too....

Not how I see it, he is a malignant Machiavellian sociopath taking back what is his in a narcissistic rage

Henry Cavill as Guts
But seriously, who is 25-35 that can play 22-25 and has the build required, I can’t think of any working actor I’d choose.

>>212313103
Would love LOGH adaptation.
It could be next Batllestar Galatica

>>212312334
Yeah, that mindset is why people don't want it adapted.
>Let's just get rid of a lot of the rape
>Let's simplify some of the artwork (every piece of armor doesn't need to be unique for a battle with hundreds of characters)
>Some of the cartoonishly violent characters need to be reworked a bit

All of those changes make something that isn't Berserk. You can dislike all the rape and over-the-top violence, nudity, and gore, that is fine, however, the removal of that stuff is removal is the removal central components of Berserk. It lessens just how fucked up and shitty the world is to placate a broader audience.
>Berserk 97
Was not a good adaptation of the source material for those that read the original work.

Wyald is the best villain in Berserk.

I'm still mad about a thread from some retarded piece of shit muttmerican that said how Western World can't produce any good fantasy compared to Berserk. I had a ban back then and couldn't fuck his ass up, so I'm still malding.
I enjoyed it when I was 15-16, but majority of written Western fantasy mogs Berserk to shit. It's a visual thing first and foremost, it looks cool. Writing is effective, but mediocre.
Witcher was a better read. Elric was bett read. Solomon Kane was better read.

>>212311384 (OP)
No because the manga is 99% world building and events tangentially related to the central plot of the eclipse. The interesting part of Berserk is Guts, Band of the Hawk, Casca, Griffith, Demons, Skeleton Knight. That is Berserk and that is what people care about and that is the only reason why they keep adapting those chapters of the manga. Nobody gives a flying fuck about Guts and Friends roaming the world getting involved in completely unrelated dogshit introducing the 100th minor character that will be forgotten in the next chapter.

>>212311384 (OP)
its not finished dude probably past the half way point/last third

>>212332602
I love Golden Age but Conviction is really good as well.
Having a Conviction Arc season and the last shot of the season is Griffith on the Hill of Swords?
Kino

until the manga is finished i am against it because we now had like 3 or 4 tellings and retellings of berserk and its always forced to end with the cuckening/bad end which is like 1 third of the manga/ basically before berserk even really starts/fusion of world.
Its retarded the manga should finish after that you can finall do the entire thing but yet another movie or show playing through the weakest shit /golden age crap to end with the shit eclipse is just retarded.

>>212332763
Every chapter that is directly related to the events and characters of the eclipse is the main plot. The rest is irrelevant world building and essentially just filler.

>>212332905
>Every chapter that is directly related to the events and characters of the eclipse is the main plot. The rest is irrelevant world building and essentially just filler.
This like saying shows and movies should only have main characters on the screen and there should never be any side characters.

Believe it or not, the world is part of the main story.

I hope we either get a good game or anime adaptation once they finish the story in 50 years.
Ever played the PS2 game? It's pretty good.

90% of Berserk is just plotless fucking filler. And my gawd, the """fight""" scenes where Guts gets his shit kicked in until he activates his LE EBIN SELF-DESTRUCTIVE ARMOR OF UTTER DESTRUCTION and LE WINS, that's almost every single post-Eclipse arc of the manga.

That's not what The Eclipse is at all, what are you talking about?

>>212311384 (OP)
No, it is filmable. Thats like asking if Batman or Spider-Man is filmable because you think you have to put everything from their first issue to the current series into one project.
And still we get Batman and Spider-Man movies.

>>212333231
I think the hardest part about filming Berserk would be CGI and having it not look off.
The Eclipse would make or break it, and if it looks off it would ruin the show.

>>212311384 (OP)
Manga is dead. Let it go.

>>212333175
It was an hyperbolic comparison to a hypothetical story. I know that the events/characters of the eclipse are occasionally brought up here and there again but never in a meaningful way that actually drives the central plot of Berserk.

If Hollywood ever made a Berserk adaption they would lean in heavily on the fag romance between Guts and Griffith.

>>212333637
>never in a meaningful way that actually drives the central plot of Berserk.
The main reason Guts fights is for revenge for what happen during The Eclipse and to heal Casca, who had her brain scrambled during The Eclipse.
Griffith's power comes from the Eclipse and he continues to torment them even after.
Even the Moonlight child is because of The Eclipse.

>>212333141
I understand that this is bait and I'm still replying, good job. (your greentext has literally zero relevance to the plot of Berserk, not a single fucking point aligns in any way shape or form with any event from the story)

>>212333723
>Guts fights is for revenge
BUT HE DOESNT NEED TO GET INVOLVED IN EVERY SINGLE MINOR CONFLICT THAT HE COMES ACROSS AND HE DOESNT NEED TO AMASS AN ENTOURAGE THAT PUTS THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING TO SHAME!

We've had like 50 chapters between every page of Skeleton Knight, Femto, Casca, Dragon Slayer, rape baby when that should be a clear line of continuation. Eclipse is over, here comes the Skeleton Knight who explains who the Demons really are and how to kill them, here comes Femto reminding Guts why he hates him, Casca is a blubbering mess but is making progress, hey Guts to stop the Demons you need to level up with Dragon Slayer gear, oh shit the rape baby is alive, but Guts don't forget that the Demons are still around and this is how we stop them.

There, this should be at most 2-3 arcs. Not 200 chapters.

>>212333821

>>212333637
>>212333637
>>212333637

everything good about berserk derives from the charisma of the main character that's mostly created by how he's drawn. the story isn't very good and will never be finished anyway. It would be a great star vehicle for some incredible 6'6" naturally hyper masculine actor full of talent and soul that can portray constant vulnerability that doesn't exist and never will

>>212333881
>It was an hyperbolic comparison to a hypothetical story.
No, it was a bunch of completely unrelated nonsense.

The entire plot of Berserk has always been revolving around Guts seeking revenge against Griffith and finding a way to rescue and then cure Casca, with Golden Age being an elegant prologue that sets everything in motion while also acting as its own complete narrative.
>We've had like 50 chapters between every page
Well yes, that the story's been going downhill and losing focus ever since Millennium Falcon is a widely accepted fact. That doesn't represent Berserk as a whole, though. Golden Age does, which is why it's the arc people keep referencing and discussing and the one that's got two different adaptations already and will surely get more at some point in the future. Even Conviction is decent as it's the culmination of the edgy grimdark vibe that a lot of people who haven't read Berserk associate the entire story with, and is pretty well executed for what it is.

>>212334190
To put it into a 3 act structure perspective Eclipse is the end of the first act and, plot development wise, we are now about a quarter into the second act !!!200 chapters later!!! when the whole story could have been wrapped up 100 chapters ago. That's the crux of the issue.

Europe is the only place you could potentially get away with it in current year but it would still be massively toned down and censored compared to the source material this wouldn't even be an issue in the 70s thoever

>There, this should be at most 2-3 arcs. Not 200 chapters.
I don't know, I think I would have liked more episodic stuff like the opening chapter where he's the black swordsman crisscrossing the countryside on a quest and each place he goes has some horrific shit going down that he doesn't want to get involved in that ends up having some evil corrupt monster-in-human-clothes tangentially related to his revenge quest.
And while I don't mind him begrudgingly having a party glom onto him I dislike how it streamlined him.
Guts wasn't just a big angry guy with a sword, he had some tricks up his sleeves and could be pretty clever. But after the party shows up and he gets his armor its just the cycle of
>i have to get super angry so my armor charges up even though the last time I did this I told myself I could never do it again or I'll loose control
>oh no I got to angry and lost control help me loli witch
>oh i can never get that angry again of i'll loose control
Its cool looking armor but turned him into a one trick pony.

>continue the story
They barely have enough material, that actually continues the eclipse arc, for one movie and it would end with a massive cliffhanger.

You're describing side quests in a video game, not a story that has a beginning, middle and end.

This sounds like developers trying to fill an open world RPG with content, not someone writing a novel. Maybe a series of short stories at best.

troons love pedo shit like berserk. guts getting raped as a kid by donovan is a "literally me" moment for berserktroons like you.

>Opening Shot
>Crows fly across a barren battlefield with rolling fog
>A decrepit rotting tree is revealed
>Dead farmers and soldiers are hanging from it, swinging softly
>At the root of the tree by the trunk is a the corpse of a woman
>Between her legs is a wormy thing in a pool of blood, a cut umbilical cord
>There is a baby in the iron grip of her rigor mortis arms
>small puffs of condensing moisture in the cold late autumn air reveal it is still breathing
>*freeze frame*
>*record skip*
>"Yep, that's me. Funny how unfair life is, ain't it? I guess you could say death always followed me. I was born in it, molded by it... But enough Dark Knight references, let's get this show on the road!"
>*YEAHHHHHHHHHH dun dun DUN*
>*smashcuts of Guts slaying peasants*
>SOME FOLKS ARE BORN- MAAAADE TO WAVE THE FLAG
>*beheading horses and stomping women to death*
>OuUHHH THE RED WHITE AND BLUUe
>*stealing potatoes, rice, and corn from children*
>AND WHEN THE BAND PLAYS- HAAAAAIL TO THE CHIEF
>*Guts duels a knight, deflects his swoed and knees him in the codpiece and smashes his skull with his forehead*
>OHHH THEY POINT THE CANNON AT YOU LORD
>*Future cut fade out looking down the barrel of guts cannon arm as the fuse burns down*
>*KABOOM fades out....*
>*Cut to teenage bot screaming in a tent*
>*Young guts being raped by a big black man, screaming and reaching for a knife*

This is how America SHOULD adapt it

No anon, there is plenty of episodic media where its not overly concerned with big sweeping epic arcs and is focused on tighter one-and-done stories. And you can still have lore and long form arcs with episodic story telling, it just doesn't get overly bogged down in them.
Its really telling that your only touchstone for story telling are cartoons and video games.

I know you are being ironic but this id actually KINO.

Edgy crap but artstyle is ok. Give it to Refn and del Toro to make valhalla rising but with monsters.

>where its not overly concerned with big sweeping epic arcs
THEN DON'T HAVE A BIG SWEEPING WORLD CHANGING EVENT. Seriously. If Berserk only ever was Guts and Friends roaming around getting into hijinks monster of the week murderhobo style nobody would have a problem with a lack of a strong plot thread. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Muira wasn't planning on running Berserk forever. The Eclipse as meant to be his big event that kicks the plot into 3rd gear but it was a massive success so he started stretching the story. Especially considering the fact that he removed the whole God scene in subsequent prints of the arc.

Snyder is a good director when he has someone around to rein him in when his ideas get out of hand.
That’s why he tends to work better as a producer, like he did with Wonder Woman.
